When people hear "aluminum," they think "lightweight." And it's true-aluminum screws weigh about one-third less than steel screws. As industries look for lighter fasteners, aluminum screws are becoming more popular.
Aluminum is easy to find in nature and simple to process. By mixing it with other metals, we get strong yet lightweight alloys. These alloys are great for making parts because they are easy to shape and resist rust.
